You'll need a shock conversion kit but they should work.

Don't get 660 shocks, they are unadjustable pogosticks. Look into the KFX450 shocks, LTR450, or the TRX450.

I agree red.I put z400's on my 250 and I hate them.They compress way to easily.

You need to check what the angle of the shock coming off of the frame and the angle where the shocks mount to the arms. That is your geometry. Then you need to remove both sets of shocks and measure from eye to eye.

Your going to have to get a shock conversion kit.I'm 100% positive of that.I widened mine 3 inches per side and still needed a conversion kit with 400ex sized shocks.Sorry bud.

I want the 660Raptor rear shock and the KFX450 for the front. Not just for drag racing but I want to ride really comfortable.

Better suspension keeps the wheels on the ground. You would be surprised how often your back wheels are off the ground, even in a straight line.
